Belated Works For Me Wednesday...


Because we've accumulated a number of indoor paint colors since we've moved in, I decided to follow the example of a friend, Lisa Lindgren (real estate agent extraodinaire), who keeps a bit of each room's paint color in a labeled baby food jar with a small paint brush INSIDE the house so that when a chip, smudge, etc. is noticed, it can be taken care of immediately with minimal mess. No more hauling out of crusty old paint cans that need to be mixed just for a minor ding. I've already put it to use and it has really saved time and effort. I'm much more likely to take care of it that day and not put the fix off...

abbey, you know this gives me the heebie jeebies you OCD types. :) I admire your organization and wherewithal. Messy, unorganized people like myself are just jealous. My luck they'd spill all over my closets! :)
